Crate rand04

Re-export of rand 0.4

This can be used instead of the deprecated rand 0.4 in crates that for reasons of compatibility need to depend on both a current version and 0.4.

Modules

chacha

The ChaCha random number generator.

distributions

Sampling from random distributions.

isaac

The ISAAC random number generator.

jitter

Non-physical true random number generator based on timing jitter.

os

Interfaces to the operating system provided random number generators.

read

A wrapper around any Read to treat it as an RNG.

reseeding

A wrapper around another RNG that reseeds it after it generates a certain number of random bytes.

seq

Functions for randomly accessing and sampling sequences.

Structs

AsciiGenerator

Iterator which will continuously generate random ascii characters.

ChaChaRng

A random number generator that uses the ChaCha20 algorithm [1].

Closed01

A wrapper for generating floating point numbers uniformly in the closed interval [0,1] (including both endpoints).

Generator

Iterator which will generate a stream of random items.

Isaac64Rng

A random number generator that uses ISAAC-64[1], the 64-bit variant of the ISAAC algorithm.

IsaacRng

A random number generator that uses the ISAAC algorithm[1].

JitterRng

A true random number generator based on jitter in the CPU execution time, and jitter in memory access time.

Open01

A wrapper for generating floating point numbers uniformly in the open interval (0,1) (not including either endpoint).

OsRng

A random number generator that retrieves randomness straight from the operating system. Platform sources:

StdRng

The standard RNG. This is designed to be efficient on the current platform.

ThreadRng

The thread-local RNG.

XorShiftRng

An Xorshift[1] random number generator.

Traits

Rand

A type that can be randomly generated using an Rng.

Rng

A random number generator.

SeedableRng

A random number generator that can be explicitly seeded to produce the same stream of randomness multiple times.

Functions

random

Generates a random value using the thread-local random number generator.

sampleDeprecated

DEPRECATED: use seq::sample_iter instead.

thread_rng

Retrieve the lazily-initialized thread-local random number generator, seeded by the system. Intended to be used in method chaining style, e.g. thread_rng().gen::<i32>().

weak_rng

Create a weak random number generator with a default algorithm and seed.
